Analyzing Georg Simmel s theory of domination and subordination as
presented in his Soziologie (1908), Adele Bianco focuses on
concrete case studies to derive an interpretation of globalization
processes. Within sociology, domination and subordination are
reciprocal. They represent constitutive modes of associated living,
based on a hierarchical structure. Domination and subordination
reflect social configurations, but are very controversial
categories. Sometimes perceived as a justification of the status
quo, they also run the risk of legitimizing the perpetuation of
inequalities. In truth, they are tools to help us understand social
order and identify inequalities' regulating structures. Domination
and Subordination as a Social Organization Principle in Georg
Simmel's Soziologie begins by defining the relationship between
domination and subordination at the micro level the relationship
among subjects. Then, after discussing the macro level, Bianco
employs a variety of case studies to expose the intricacies of
Simmel's domination and subordination theory. The ensuing
discussions of democracy, employment relationships, social
relationships, and globalization answer such questions as: Why is
society divided between a top and a bottom? What does it mean to
wield authority? What degrees of power are held by those in a
position of inferiority? Why is the strong subject ultimately in
need of the weak subject? What can be said of a majority winning in
a democracy, and what is the minority left with? How can the social
condition of the modern worker be reconciled with his proclaimed
freedom? (and) What does subordination to the employer effectively
comprise? Scholars and students of sociology, social theory, labor
studies, and psychology will benefit from this book's combination
of intricate theories and real-world case studies towards a
comprehensive theory of modern globalization."
